Glass replacement portfolio

Before:

The client reported a visible crack across the outer pane of a large fixed window in their dining area. The crack likely formed due to sudden temperature changes and stress on the glass. Though the frame and inner pane remained intact, the damage posed a safety concern and diminished the window’s appearance.

Repair process:

1. Carefully removed the cracked glass unit while preserving the existing vinyl frame

2. Took precise measurements and installed a new double-pane insulated glass unit (IGU), custom-cut for a perfect fit

3. Applied fresh glazing sealant and insulation tape to ensure proper thermal performance and weather protection

4. Cleaned all surfaces and tested the window for visual clarity and seal integrity

After:

The cracked pane was fully replaced with a new clear glass unit, restoring both the window’s appearance and insulation value. The new glass matched seamlessly with surrounding units, and the repair was completed in under three hours — with no need for full window replacement.

The homeowner appreciated the fast turnaround and minimal disruption to their living space.

Before

A family in St. Charles contacted us about a cracked glass in their dining room window. The damage was caused by a minor impact, but the crack had spread across most of the glass surface. Not only was it unsightly, but it also raised concerns about safety, insulation, and further glass failure. With summer heat approaching, the broken seal was letting in warm air and reducing overall comfort.

Our Work

After evaluating the situation, we determined that a glass-only replacement was the most efficient and cost-effective solution. The window frame was still in great shape, so a full unit replacement wasn’t necessary.

We sourced a custom-fit insulated glass unit that matched the existing window’s style and energy performance. On installation day, our team carefully removed the damaged glass, installed the new panel, and sealed it with weather-resistant materials. The job was completed in under two hours with zero mess left behind.

After

The new glass gave the window a fresh, clean look and restored full visibility and insulation. The dining room now feels more comfortable, and the homeowners were relieved to avoid a full window replacement.
